Strimko

When I want to procrastinate at doing chores, I pick up my phone and play a game. So many games, so many choices. But have you yet seen Strimko? This is a unique number puzzle game that will have you using all your brain cells to figure out the solution. In fact, Strimko is a number puzzle with a new twist on the classic Latin squares theme. Other number games such as Sudoku are based off this concept created by the mathematician, Leonard Euler. Strimko will never get boring. There are continual difficulty levels with numerous puzzles. The rules are simple: each column, row and stream must contain unique numbers relating to the size square, no repeats allowed. For example, if the puzzle is a 4 x 4 square, the numbers would range from 1 to 4. Actually, though this sounds too easy, the possibilities for unique and brain stimulating puzzles are endless, don't be fooled! A few of the exciting features of Strimko are: 120 handcrafted puzzles, including 20 that are available to unlock, 4 difficulty levels of Easy, Medium, Hard and Master, puzzles in 4 sizes of 4 x 4 through 7 x 7, each puzzle is solvable with a unique solution, and the ability to listen to and also control your music library from within the app. If you are looking for a break from the hectic shopping malls, Christmas card writing and general holiday business, let Strimko intrigue you with its mathematical entertainment.
